intention : I wanted to bring together mouvement (space + time) to the understanding of sens, a word wich signification would be a kind of reward. To read the word QUEST you will have to take a little boat in a very long and totally dark water tunnel, pick up the letters one by one with a electric torch, following the orange ligne and finally recompose the word QUEST. With the word QUEST I try to communicate the curiosity and the adventurous mood that I have.
I imagine the action of making (me) and the action of discovering this work (public) as a quest. QUEST is my way of life.
intention : J'ai voulu lier le mouvement (espace + temps) a la comprehension d'un sens, un mot dont la signification serait une sorte de recompense. Pour pouvoir lire le mot QUEST il faut traverser en bateau un etroit canal sous-terrain totalement obscur et suivre la ligne orange, trouver les lettres une a une a l`aide d`une lampe torche et recomposer le mot QUEST. Avec le mot QUEST j'essaie de communiquer l'esprit de curiosite et d'aventure que je ressent. J'imagine l'action de fabriquer (moi) et l'action de decouvrir le travail (le public) comme une quete. QUEST est ma voie.
